Partagas Línea Maestra Rito
The Partagas Línea Maestra Rito awaits at Surrey Cigars. Measuring 6" 5/8 with a 52 ring gauge in a Gustosos vitola, this medium-flavoured cigar provides a luxurious smoking experience lasting approximately 65 mins. Perfect for aficionados seeking depth and complexity.
Línea Maestra is a premium extension to the Partagas range in the same way that Behike was for Cohiba in 2010, Línea 1935 for Montecristo in 2017, and Línea de Oro for Romeo y Julieta in 2020. It is the second edition following the introduction of the Partagas Línea Maduro in 2018.
The three new sizes that make up the Linea Maestra are Origen, Rito, and Maestro. All are unique within the Habanos portfolio and have been crafted with a Cabeza Tumbada or ‘dropped head’, a style often referred to as a '109’ due to Partagas 109 cigars rolled with the same finish included in commemorative branded humidors in the past. This traditional style of finishing was last seen on the Ramon Allones Hunters & Frankau Anniversario 225, a special release in 2015 to celebrate the company's 225th anniversary.
For the first time in the brand and Habanos, S.A. portfolio's history, all the tobacco for the new Línea comes exclusively from the San Luis region of Pinar del Río, Cuba. This gives them a special aromatic complexity without losing the brand’s unique character and blend, and they are classified as full-bodied like the rest of the portfolio.
The Línea Maestra range is presented in striking blue lacquered boxes containing 20 cigars. Each cigar is dressed with a unique blue band sporting the name of the vitola as well as an additional foot band.
